Defamation case

Here's the ruling about Fox's on-air lies it acknowledged after settling defamation case

From CNN's Marshall Cohen

In a statement made Tuesday after Fox News settled the defamation case brought by Dominion Voting Systems, Fox said:

“We acknowledge the Court’s rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false.”

So, what did those rulings say?

This is about the topic of falsity. To win a defamation case, you need to prove a few things. Most importantly, you need to prove the statements were false and that they were made with actual malice, otherwise known as a reckless disregard for the truth.

In a major pretrial ruling on March 31, Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis ruled Dominion had successfully proven that all 20 statements mentioned in its lawsuit against Fox were false. 

“Through its extensive proof, Dominion has met its burden of showing there is no genuine issue of material fact as to falsity… The evidence developed in this civil proceeding demonstrates that is CRYSTAL clear that none of the Statements relating to Dominion about the 2020 election are true,” Davis wrote.
